Wait. So is it a flex to wear shorts at 10? Is a jacket at 30? I'm so confused. That's like the mildest of temps. How about when we do yard work when it's 37.5c? Or go kayaking in 7c because like all those things happened are normal here. I was building a fire pit area today and it was 100° and earlier in the year I was on the lake kayaking when it was 45°.

Of course I do, it stands for Percentage of Commie.

These poor folks don't even know in a free country you can wear jackets and shorts any time you like.

I don't really get the hate for fahrenheit. It's a nice 0 to 100 scale for everyday weather temperatures. But also every 10 degrees is different enough that you don't even need to be precise when talking about it: "We'll probably need the AC today, it's going to be in the 80s".

I'm an American that's all for converting to metric but I would still use fahrenheit for weather since it's just so easy and convenient.

Come to New Zealand, we wear shorts (or stubbies as they are known over here) all year round!

Yeah but, 10c is 50f, which is not cold for shorts. Maybe cool at best? I wear shorts year round though 😬.

You dropped de minus on 10C.

Jackets at 30C??

"When will I ever use this in real life?!?" I wonder how successful "to understand the international memes" would be in the classroom 🤔

you've got me, I don't know what C° is, I only know °C

Guess I'm a Canadian adult in the USA.

10° is a completely normal temperature to wear shorts at

I understand because of a useful mnemonic I learned a few years ago. 30 is hot. 20 is nice. 10 is cold. 0 is ice. 30 is still pretty nice for most US citizens since we're not Canadian.

Heatwaves in London are strange. You see a few people outside in light sweaters. It's like they don't know what to do. It's like they don't own t-shirts

FYI this is like 283 and 303 kelvin

Ah, you see it’s easy! 10°C is 70°F in Canada and 30°C is 35°F in Australia. Fahrenheit is based upon comfortable temperature and since that differs by person and population the amount differs too!

Celsius is just boring old math though. Kind of like metric measurements. Everything devisable by 1000? Pffft, boooring! Give me my 600 feet to the mile and 8-1/2 football fields to league like a truely patriotic measuring system! Did I mention I actually prefer needing a lookup table to figure out unit conversions.

Never seen a C in my life

Americans are used to being able to infer unknown scales of measurement
